Cotton |
NEW YORK. March 25.—The Influence of
unsettling war news and weakness in Liver
;x>ol was reflected in an opening decline of 25
.c 51 points in the cotton market hero today.
Ukl crop months were relatively weak with
Uay selling down to 32.37 or 53 points unde.
Saturday's close tinder heavy liquidation, while
October broke tv 30.30 or 34 points net lower
«n the call. Offerings were absorbed at this
level, however, and the movement soon became
Hteadier. Before the end of the first hour May
; bad rallied to 82.65 and October to 30.68.
j Prices were steady with an upward tendency.
It was stated in some quarters that the basis
i tor *i*<t ectton has become a little weaker, but
brokers Insist that this will have no effect on
' futures, as contracts are rtill much cheaper
| than spot cotton. Most of the brokers consider
i technical position of the market as strong.
Hu- western belt forecast for generally fair
! und warmer weather and tbe more cheerful
< tiaracter of the war news helped to steady
I the market later in the morning. Both IJver
-I*ool und New Orleans were good buyers here,
while there was a continued trade demand on
the recovery which carried May up to 32.73 or
• within 15 points of Saturday’s close, while Oc
i to'.wr advanced to 30.77 or within 7 points of
| i tfnsl <uv>tnrion.
Businena was quiet during the early after
n* .. prices held steady with May working
lup to 32.82 and October to 30.84. or about
even with last week's close on July and Inter
deliveries. Offers were light after the heavy
early selling and the market showed a firmer
i technical position as well as absence of spot
, pressure and a more cheerful view of the war
; news.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS. March 25.—War news had
the effect of forcing the price of cotton 80 to
45 pointe down around the opening here today ,
but the decline met good support, which finally
checked the downward mrrrawt. At the end
I of the first half hour prices were 15 to 25 I
points up from the lowest. . ■ ■
The market gradually gained in steadiness ,
and at noon was only p t 8 9 points off com
pared to Saturday's' close.
Better reports from the battle front made '
for firmness in the afternoon. At 1 o'clock
prices were at a net advance, standiug 8 to 6
point* over Saturday's finals.

JOHN F. CLARK A CO.’S COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, March 25.—The execution
of selling orders which had accumulated over
Sunday on foreign news caused a 30 to 40
point lower opening, but the market showed a
much better absorptive power than expected
and rallied immediately after the call. It is
argued that if the market did not submit to the
very unfavorable statistics persistently shown
during the past week, then It could well resist
also temporary unfavorable outside news. The
technical situation in the northern market,
moreover, Is such that control there is com
paratively easy and recen. developments In
that market support the claim that powerful
spot interests are opposing the decline for the
reason that the exchange of futures for spots
can be effected to better advantage in sus
tained markets.
Os cotton news this morning there was tbe
report that tbe Watkins Kureau makes a pre
liminary forecast of 2.5 i»er cent increase in
acreage and says the indicated crop is 14,-
600.000.
Liverpool is irregular. 18 higher on old con
tracts and 12 to 25 lower on new.
Consols % lower. Nothing further on Sat
urday’s price-fixing rumor, but the following
review from dry goods quarters keeps attention
alive:
“Cotton Goods Review says general com
mittee of cotton goods merchants and manu
facturers has been appointed to confer with
the priee-fixing board at Washington on tbe
subject of regulating prices in the cotton goods
market. The government purchasing boards
have been fixing prices for some time on goods
needed for war purposes and the new move
ment seeks to control or check the sharp ad
vances that have been going on in goods for
civilian trade.”
Rains occurred over Sunday in the eastern
states, while conditions changed to fair west
of the river. A cooi spell dominates tbe north
ern half of the belt with light frosts reported
in Oklahoma, Arkansas and Tennessee. Tem
perature* continued normal over the southern
portion of the belt. Indications are for gen
erally fair in the central and eastern states,
cooler in the Allantics, increasing cloudiness
and warmer in the west with prospects for
rainy conditions toward Thursday.
Information now coming to hand from Texas
shows liiat last week’s rains were far more*
extended than could be judged al the lime, by
the few stations on the map. The Hous
ton Daily Poet says Friday’s rains were a
great benefit to Texas. gome places say it
was the best rain in years and that corn and
cotton are up to a better stand than for sev
eral years.
Spo’ people report demand temporarily paus
ing on account of unsettled hedge markets.
Rotter foreign news neiped to sustain the
early rally and the marset is quietly wait
ing at pee *ent around 30.72 for Joly. (

SHEPARD 4 GLUCK 8 COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. March X'-While cotton
was depressed in the early stage* of the ses
sion today by the unfavorable construction
placed on the war news of over Sunday, great
recuperative power was shown and a full re
■ covery occurred, in the afternoon. The small
net advance which came about in tbe early
j afternoon. The small net advance which came
about in the early afternoon was the best 11-
. lustration of the great strength underlying tbe
l market that has been presented in weeks. It
i-.ardly seems possible for cotton to make an
advance in such critical times as these.
The early decline amounted to 30 to 46 points.
The recovery was gradual and at the highest
the most active months were 3Ui6 r>oint* over
the cloeing quotations of Saturday. Trade buy
ing of the soundest character appeared to be
i responsible for the upward movement. Market
was qulc'r to respond to the tone of the report*
from tliq battlefront as the day progressed.
The war news of the next few days will
have to be regarded as of the highest im
portance as it is quite generally conceded that
the Critical. If not decisive, stage of the great
j conflict has been reached. The German em
peror himself has sta'ed as much. Upon the
I outcome of present military operations hangs
the destinies of all great nations and the mar
1 ket for cotton must discount these operations.
We have faith !n the situation both at home
and abroad, and in cotton Itself. The market
I receives convincing support on all weak spots
i and we think it will be quick to reflect an)
, favorable changes in tbe deadiocy on the west
i era front.
